Hi there. I'm new to the forum, but have used it for many questions, so thanks to everyone.
I am putting together a new guitar and I purchased all the parts separately.
For pups, I decided on a Lollar special T series Neck, and a Harmonic design super 90 for the bridge.
I am having trouble deciding which value and type of pots to use for the wiring. Given that the lollar would probably be best with a 250K and the super 90 with a 500K or perhaps even a TBX tone pot. Then the question of which volume to use for both?
Also, is it OK to use different value pots for the volume pot than the tone pot?
I even considered using concentric pots for both volume and tone, and setting them up so that the volume and tone fore each pickup was on a different (set of) knobs.
Just wondering what people would recommend. I appreciate all advice.
Thanks
